Braga had lined up Roderick Miranda for a swift return to Portugal.

Wolves have rejected an approach from Sporting Braga for centre-back Roderick Miranda, according to Portuguese website Mais Futebol.

Miranda signed for Wolves in the summer from Portuguese side Rio Ave, but he has not started a game since late October.

Braga have enquired after the defender, but Wolves have responded by stating he is not for sale.

Miranda has played just once as a substitute since Wolves’ 2-1 loss to QPR three months ago, but manager Nuno Santo still evidently is keen to use him as a squad player.

The Sun reported that Wolves paid £2.5 million to sign Miranda in the summer.

Miranda made 14 starts before being dropped, and Wolves’ impressive form has made it tough for him to get back into the team.

If this situation continues between now and the summer then surely Wolves would consider letting him leave, but they could regret letting him leave now without signing a replacement.

Santo’s desire to keep him around for now should come as a confidence boost to the 26-year-old.
